Courses
Parsons offers hundreds of non-degree continuing education courses — on campus or online. We offer the variety of subject areas that you would expect from the foremost art and design school in the United States, including fashion, fine arts, graphic and digital design, interior design, and management and leadership. Course completion can be counted toward one of our certificate programs.

Certificate Programs
Parsons’ non-credit certificates equip working professionals with the tools you need to advance your career, in as few as three courses. More flexible and less rigorous than standard university degree programs, the certificate programs are part-time courses of study with no entrance requirements. Some students are new to art and design; others enroll to expand their skills and strengthen their portfolios.
